AMD Radeon R9 M265X 4 GB versus any NVIDIA GeForce of 2 GB or 3 GB

[Blondie21]

What's better overall for gaming (and for professional trading stocks/options)?
(Laptop)

EDIT: all benchmark sites I found didn't take the memory size into account, e.g. the 4 GB of the AMD Radeon.

well it depends as you can get a 970M with 3 GB of Vram and it will smash the 265M or you can get an 850M with 2GB.
just read the other post sorry about that

A m265x in gaming is very mediocre, medium or low settings at like sub 720p. =(

For actual work and such cpu matters most.

You should be looking at fps comparisons between the gpu's on the games you want to play.

Thank you both very much for your replies.

Baumy15, only your 3th link is a 17 inch but it seems very interesting!! However, it seems that I cannot build in a 256 GB SSD in the 4800 MQ and that it's not possible to increase the amount of RAM, according to the website. The 4710 MQ seems to be able to build in a SSD, but then it would cost 1800 dollars and that's more than my budget of about $1250 (due to a tax of 21% in my country for import)


EDIT: all benchmark sites (including those for fps) I found didn't take the memory size into account, e.g. the 4 GB of the AMD Radeon.

so your looking for a 128/256GB SSD with support for a ram upgrade in the future?
that will make it harder to find something in that price range as I found the ones within your price range and had good gaming performance

Yes Baumy, please reply in this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2547823/laptop-based-performance-1000-1300-week-vacation-york.html

My current winner seems to be this custom build laptop with 256 GB SSD without a 2nd drive + 16 GB RAM + GTX860 (don't know if it's DDR5 or GDDR5 because the website contradicts that).

I'm not sure if the upgraded ASUS recommended by Walter would be a better option
